A New Home for Iowa Physical Therapy
The University unveiled a 10-year facilities master plan, including a new future home for Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science. The Health Sciences Academic Building will be built on the footprint of the existing South Quad on Melrose Avenue. Joining us in this state-of-the-art learning and research facility will be the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders and the Department of Health and Human Physiology.
This new facility will provide critical space for continued advancement of our academic and research missions. Since 2006 we have experienced 33% growth in enrollment and a nearly 25-fold increase in grant funding. We have prioritized efficient use of our current facility, which was “right-sized” for our 2006 operations but is now beyond capacity. Future growth depends upon additional space, and the West Campus Academic Building will equip us for the next era of academic, clinical, and research success.
Construction is underway
